Patrons Circle
Enjoy the very best of what TIFF has to offer year-round and during the Festival, including exclusive access to events, earlier pre-sales, and dedicated service — all while supporting TIFF with an important donation. Patrons Circle levels include access for you and either a secondary card holder or a guest, and comes with a charitable tax receipt for the maximum allowable amount.
